Booked at the Marriott this time. Stayed at the Hilton a few years back and found that their Security was a bit of a joke. Overheard a security officer telling this one guy to power down his Lightsaber and we had to have a security escort come to our room and walk us out of the hotel with our fake weapons upon checkout.

Question, anyone one know when they charge your credit card for the hotel reservation?

According to the site they will charge a deposit 30 days in advance. But most hotels charge the rest of your stay as you check out (I know the very large world wide chain of hotels I work at charges you at the end of your stay)

I tried to book a hotel room (Marriott) but both of my credit cards expire
prior to April 2015. Anyone have any recommendations?
I called my credit card provider and they won't just issue me a new card
with a new expiration date.

Got mine and my husband's four-day passes right at 10am yesterday! We're so excited to be going to our first Celebration after wanting to come along to one for years. 2015 will be a GREAT year for us all!

How did you guys book this far in advance? They wouldn't let me until 1 year out.

Or is anyone in a double room looking to split costs?

Got my hotel issue squared away. I'm at the Anabella.
I booked a double room, so I'll be looking for a roommate!
Any thrifty TDHers looking to keep costs down, let me know.

Tickets paid and hotel booked (Sheraton Park), Family is stoked but yeah that's a long ways away lol, thinking of taking the kids to Disneyland 13th through the 15th then wrapping up the rest of the week with Star Wars Celebration. Hopefully while the family is resting up later in the day i could meet up with some of you super cool peeps

I have purchased tickets for my wife and I to attend. We are super excited, and even have big plans on how to get our son excited as well. Our son will be turning 4 just a few days before the event starts. His birthday present is going to be a Boba Fett suitcase/duffle bag thing my wife saw online (Boba Fett was the first SW character he could name and point out, as well as his favorite of his SW toys). When he opens the bag, he will find a fully completed Boba Fett suit with two envelopes, one for the SWC and one for Disney. This kid better remember his 4th birthday for EVER. Its gonna be LEGEN...wait for it.....DARY!!!

Now I just need to get or make Boba Fett suits for myself and my son and an Admiral costume for the wife (unless anyone can provide some costuming suggestions for a really short lady)

I booked too ... 4 day pass. A long trip from Germany ... but hey.. it´s Star Wars! )
The Celebration in Essen was so great that my wife, my two sons and me NEED to visit Anaheim! Hopefully my Fett costume will be finished in 2015 and that my sons will be my Jango escort!

For me it was only possible to book the hotel via the official site: http://www.starwarscelebration.com/Anaheim/Hotel
All direct online hotel booking failed because I can only choose 2014 too and not 2015. Called every local travel agency (Germany) but they can also book only for 2014.

Hotel booked at the Hilton! No you are not charges until after you stay. You do however will be charged if you cancel less than 72 hours from your scheduled stay.. Awesome deal and no reason not to book your ASAP
